Amazon beats Nothing at its own game with this brilliant early Black Friday Nothing Phone 3 deal

Black Friday proper is still a few weeks away, but we’re already seeing some great deals on the best Android phones on the market. One of the best offers so far is for the weird and wonderful Nothing Phone 3, which you can now get for $678.99 at Amazon US and £629 at Amazon UK.

In a rare alignment of the Black Friday deals cosmos, the Nothing Phone 3 is discounted in both its 256GB and 512GB variants across the US and UK. Specifically, Amazon UK has even undercut Nothing’s own Black Friday sale prices by £20 on the 256GB model and £30 on the 512GB model. Let’s take a closer look at the deals.

### Today’s Best Nothing Phone 3 Black Friday Deals

The Nothing Phone 3 is the company’s first undeniably “flagship” phone, a title they proudly announced when launching the handset earlier this year. It’s equipped with a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, 12GB or 16GB of RAM (depending on storage), and a triple 50MP camera system with 3x optical zoom. With these specs, the Nothing Phone 3 aims to compete with flagship devices like the iPhone 17 and Samsung Galaxy S25.

However, what stands out most about the Nothing Phone 3 is its one-of-a-kind design. This is a uniquely styled phone that builds on the qualities of its predecessors, featuring intentionally misaligned cameras and a quirky rear-mounted “glyph display” dot-matrix interface that really sets it apart.

While the Nothing Phone 3 may not quite match the processing power of some mainstream rivals, it still offers impressive features even at its usual retail price of $799 / £799 / AU$1,509. Besides the triple camera system, it boasts a 6.67-inch display, a 5,150mAh battery, and support for 65W fast charging.

We went hands-on with the Nothing Phone 3 just after its launch and found it carries an “abstract, asymmetrical vibe” that appeals to those looking for something different. Fans of Nothing also appreciate the clean and simple Nothing OS Android interface, although the brand has faced some controversy recently over its handling of software updates. Still, the Nothing Phone 3 remains a strong contender from an intriguing and quirky outsider brand.

Best Buy makes the powerful Motorola Razr+ (2024) an unbeatable value king at $500 off

What could possibly be better than a half-off Motorola Razr (2024) Black Friday deal—with several weeks to go until Thanksgiving and almost two whole months before Christmas? Well, how about a 50 percent discount on the evidently superior Razr Plus (2024)?

That may sound like the same thing, but it’s most definitely not. One of these two handsets is a lot pricier than the other, and it’s not hard to guess which one. Yes, the Motorola Razr+ (2024) normally costs $999.99, which means you can currently save a whopping $500 at Best Buy with no special requirements and no strings attached.

At a new record low price of $499.99, last year’s Razr Plus powerhouse—with a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor under the hood—arguably trumps the value of not just the aforementioned $350 non-Plus Razr (2024), but also this year’s Razr and Razr Plus foldables at their latest and greatest discounts.

Curiously enough, this absolutely outstanding new Razr Plus (2024) Best Buy deal is not explicitly advertised as a Black Friday 2025 offer, unlike the 50 percent price cut on the 2024 Razr. So, at least in theory, it’s possible the device could drop even lower than $499.99 by the end of November.

For the record, I highly doubt that will actually happen, but hey, anything is possible with Motorola’s ultra-affordable phones.

In addition to a still-snappy Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC, the deeply discounted Motorola Razr+ (2024) boasts a massive 6.9-inch primary display, as well as an equally impressive (especially for $499.99) 4-inch cover screen. It also features two 50MP rear-facing cameras, a reasonably hefty 4,000mAh battery equipped with blazing fast 45W charging technology, and an almost surprisingly robust build.

If you’ve been waiting for a killer deal on a premium foldable, this Razr Plus offer at Best Buy is definitely one to consider.

Ex-WWE star seemingly spoils AEW and Tony Khan’s grand plans

AEW head honcho Tony Khan supposedly has a huge initiative in mind pertaining to his company’s women’s division. Former WWE superstar and current ROH Women’s Champion Athena has shed some light on the plan in question during a recent interview. This past weekend, All Elite Wrestling hosted this year’s edition of the WrestleDream pay-per-view in St. Louis, MO. This Wednesday on AEW Dynamite, the promotion officially revealed the brackets for the tournament intended to crown the inaugural Women’s World Tag Team Champions, weeks after the belts were officially unveiled. Also last month, Jamie Hayter challenged The Triangle of Madness to face her and her allies in the first-ever Women’s Blood and Guts match. The aforementioned announcements and angles have injected a lot of excitement and momentum into AEW’s currently stacked women’s division. It appears that Tony Khan may have an even grander plan in the making for his female performers, in the form of an all-women’s show. During her recent interview with WFAA 8, ROH Women’s World Champion Athena revealed that the All Elite head honcho had “absolutely” considered running a women’s event, and that manifesting such a show was just a matter of timing. “Absolutely. I know TK has absolutely thought about that; it’s just about timing when it comes to those things. We have the best roster in the world. I know everybody says it, but we actually do have the best roster in the world. I do know that is on his brain, it’s been on his brain since I have been in AEW at least. It’s just about timing.” [H/T TJR Wrestling] It remains to be seen if All Elite Wrestling will organize an all-women’s event anytime soon. Athena found a tag partner on this week’s AEW Dynamite Mercedes Mone’s big celebration on the October 22 episode of Dynamite, following on her eleventh and twelfth title wins this past weekend, unfortunately ended in humiliation for the former WWE superstar, as she was embarrassed and eventually ambushed by Harley Cameron and Kris Statlander. Afterwards, The CEO was approached backstage by Athena, who offered to team up with Mercedes to bring home the Women’s World Tag Team Titles. It remains to be seen if the “Forever” ROH Women’s Champion will win her first All Elite title with “Ultimo” Mone, who is herself scheduled to challenge Statlander for her AEW Women’s Championship at Full Gear 2025.

NFL Insider Says Changes are Coming to Miami Dolphins

One of the bigger topics in the NFL this year that isn’t going anywhere anytime soon is the mess that is the Miami Dolphins. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and head coach Mike McDaniel have become a headlining duo on what some are calling the “Tua Wrongs Don’t Make a Right” tour—playing out on the 2025 Test Stephen’s Patience Tour. You should see the t-shirts.

NFL insider Ian Rapoport weighed in on the Dolphins’ job-security situation yesterday on YouTube with a take that pretty much everyone could expect. It’s fine—it’s not rocket science with the Dolphins right now—we all know the days of McDaniel and general manager Chris Grier are numbered.

“(The Miami Dolphins) are going to roll forward with what they have, hoping the results are different,” Rapoport said, highlighting the true insanity of Dolphins’ ownership. “I think one thing that the past week’s events has showed us is that change is coming to the Dolphins. Obviously, (Mike) McDaniel is someone that Stephen Ross really likes and respects. He supported him, he chose him, he has invested in him with a big-time contract extension. He does not want to fire him. The results, though, have to change.”

The reality? They won’t.

### Change Is Coming to the Miami Dolphins Organization

There must be a method to owner Stephen Ross’s line of thinking. With a failing head coach and a quarterback who, in all likelihood, needs a fresh start elsewhere, Ross could be thinking that McDaniel is still the guy to lead this ship—at least down the super-high-draft-pick road. In this view, they could draft a suitable replacement for the aforementioned signal-caller who needs to go.

Whether or not that’s actually the case, no one really knows. But Rapoport insists that change is coming one way or another.

“And I think because of the ugly losses, because of Tua Tagovailoa throwing teammates under the bus and then recanting and walking all of that back,” Rapoport continues, “it has forced the entire nation to look at the Miami Dolphins and say, ‘What are they gonna do?’ So the Dolphins are going to get back to work this week with the hopes that the results are different, but I can pretty confidently say change is coming to the organization. It’s just a matter of how and when.”

### Former Player: Dolphins’ Regime Has to End

Rapoport isn’t alone in calling for changes in Miami. Former Dolphins guard Richie Incognito weighed in, calling the entire situation a disaster.

“I hate the whole situation they have brewing down there,” Incognito said. “This is a dumpster fire, and you have McDaniel and Tua throwing bags of gasoline into the dumpster fire.”

Incognito didn’t hold back in his criticism of leadership within the organization.

“We look at this guy on TV, I do not see a leader of men. When I’m going out there on Sunday, and I want to rip someone’s head off, I’m not getting fired up by this guy’s (McDaniel’s) pregame speech.”

He also pointed the finger squarely at Tua.

“Tua, last week, was talking about guys being late and he’s talking about leadership. Well, the leadership starts and ends with Tua because you’re the franchise quarterback. Everyone was taking sides on ‘Was he pointing fingers at the locker room?’ I think when he said ‘leadership,’ he was pointing the finger at Mike McDaniel.”

Incognito sees deeper issues beneath the surface.

“When you have people constantly late in a professional sports organization, that shows fractures. That shows favoritism. That, to me, is the biggest flaw in this entire operation.”

### What’s Next for the Dolphins?

One can only wonder if there are office pools in South Florida taking bets on when the hammer finally falls. Does McDaniel get fired before Tua actually gets benched? When will Grier have to turn in his playbook? Are parlays available?

As the Dolphins continue to stumble, one thing is clear: change is inevitable. The only question left is how soon it will come—and how deep the overhaul will be.

3 clear indications from India A’s squad for the red-ball matches against South Africa A ft. Rishabh Pant

On Wednesday, October 22, the BCCI announced India A’s squad for the upcoming red-ball games against South Africa A. These A tour matches will be played ahead of the Proteas’ Test tour of India, with both encounters scheduled at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru. The series will commence on Thursday, October 30, with Rishabh Pant making a long-awaited return to the field—a major headline for fans and selectors alike.

### India A Squad for the 1st Four-Day Match vs South Africa A:
– Rishabh Pant (c) (wk)
– Ayush Mhatre
– N Jagdeesan (wk)
– Sai Sudharsan (vc)
– Devdutt Padikkal
– Rajat Patidar
– Harsh Dubey
– Tanush Kotian
– Manav Suthar
– Anshul Kamboj
– Yash Thakur
– Ayush Badoni
– Saransh Jain

### India A Squad for the 2nd Four-Day Match vs South Africa A:
– Rishabh Pant (c) (wk)
– KL Rahul
– Dhruv Jurel (wk)
– Sai Sudharsan (vc)
– Devdutt Padikkal
– Ruturaj Gaikwad
– Harsh Dubey
– Tanush Kotian
– Manav Suthar
– Khaleel Ahmed
– Gurnoor Brar
– Abhimanyu Easwaran
– Prasidh Krishna
– Mohammed Siraj
– Akash Deep

The selectors haven’t revealed much about their thought process in selecting the squads, as no press conference was held. However, several interesting signs emerge when analyzing the team composition. Here are three clear indications from India A’s squad for these red-ball matches against South Africa A.

### #3 Sai Sudharsan Appointed Vice-Captain Ahead of Other Names

Names such as Rajat Patidar, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and Dhruv Jurel have often been in the mix for captaincy roles in A teams and Duleep Trophy squads. Despite this, the selectors have named Sai Sudharsan as Rishabh Pant’s deputy for this series.

One possible reason could be that Patidar, Gaikwad, and Jurel are not playing both contests, which influenced the decision. Nonetheless, having different vice-captains in recent similar series suggests the selectors are exploring new leadership options. Sai Sudharsan is known for his calm demeanor and despite limited top-level leadership experience, appointing him as vice-captain appears to be a positive step forward.

### #2 The Thinness of India’s Red-Ball Contingent Is Evident

Ayush Mhatre has been picked as one of India A’s openers for the first match against South Africa A. While Mhatre is a talented youngster who has played notable innings in the Ranji Trophy, his place in the A team at this stage is debatable. His recent white-ball performances for the U19s have been disappointing; although he has fared better in red-ball cricket, he still needs substantial development. Additionally, Mhatre’s technique, particularly his foot movement, could benefit from more experience at lower levels.

On the bowling front, India A have selected only two pacers for the first match—Yash Thakur and Anshul Kamboj. Neither name inspires immediate confidence, highlighting how thin India’s fast-bowling resources currently are. The struggles in both the opening batting and pace-bowling departments clearly indicate significant room for improvement.

### #1 Rishabh Pant Is Back!

Last seen during India’s fourth Test against England, Rishabh Pant looks set to make an international comeback during the upcoming home Test series against South Africa. Before that, he will lead India A in these two red-ball matches.

Pant was long considered one of India’s frontline options for Test captaincy; however, that mantle has since passed to Shubman Gill. Still, having Pant involved in the leadership setup is a positive for the senior team, especially after the recent departures of influential leaders like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravichandran Ashwin.

More importantly, reports of a slow-foot injury recovery appear to be behind Pant. His inclusion in both matches signals that his foot has healed sufficiently, and he has made a convincing comeback.

As the series approaches, all eyes will be on India A’s young talents and returning senior players alike. This set of games not only offers a glimpse of India’s red-ball future but also prepares the squad for the challenging Test series against South Africa.

Weeks after its release, the mid-range Lenovo Idea Tab Plus with AI and a pen is hugely discounted

You clearly don’t have much time to take advantage of this outstanding flash sale, which makes a remarkably affordable tablet even more remarkable.

*We may earn a commission if you make a purchase from the links on this page.*

You don’t need to spend a small fortune ahead of the fast-approaching holiday season to get a remarkably thin, handsome, and respectably powerful “AI-enhanced” tablet — at least if you hurry and take advantage of the latest (and greatest) Lenovo Idea Tab Plus deal.

This 12.1-inch giant was released stateside at the beginning of September with an already stunningly low price of $289.99, considering what it brings to the table in its battle against Apple’s newest iPad Air models and Android mid-rangers like Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S10 FE and Tab S10 FE Plus.

### Lenovo Idea Tab Plus — Flash Sale Details

– **Price:** $219.99 (originally $289.99, $70 off / 24%)
– **Display:** 12.1-inch with 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution, 90Hz refresh rate
– **Storage:** 128GB
– **RAM:** 8GB
– **Processor:** MediaTek Dimensity 6400
– **Camera:** 13MP rear-facing, 8MP front-facing
– **Audio:** Quad speaker system with Dolby Atmos technology
– **Battery:** 10,200mAh with 45W charging support
– **Other Features:** microSD card slot, 3.5mm headphone jack, Android 15, Luna Grey color, Lenovo Tab Pen included
– **Connectivity:** Wi-Fi only

Marked down to $239.99 shortly after its US launch and $229.99 a couple of weeks ago, the Idea Tab Plus is now even cheaper on Lenovo’s official regional website for just $219.99 as part of a flash sale likely to end soon.

That means you shouldn’t waste another second—if an Android tablet with a lot of screen real estate, an ultra-thin 6.29mm profile, 8GB of RAM, and a bunch of nifty AI tricks sounds like it could brighten up your Christmas, this is your moment to pull the trigger.

### Performance and Value

Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6400 processor, the Lenovo Idea Tab Plus isn’t in the same league as the iPad Air (M3) models in terms of raw speed. This explains the huge price gap. However, it is currently *much* more affordable than the Galaxy Tab S10 FE models from Samsung. Plus, those Samsung mid-range tablets don’t hold a major advantage either in raw power or versatility.

Believe it or not, your $220 purchase covers not just the Idea Tab Plus itself, but also the handy Lenovo Tab Pen.

The 12.1-inch display is both sharp and smooth, featuring a vibrant 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate for fluid visuals. Essentially, you’re looking at a heavyweight value champion — and the chances of this price dropping further by Christmas are slim to none. That includes Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals.

Tee Higgins’ mom throws shade at Jake Browning with cryptic 3-word message as Bengals QB throws 3 INTs in loss to Lions

The Cincinnati Bengals delivered a lackluster performance against the Detroit Lions on Sunday, with quarterback Jake Browning throwing three interceptions—two in the second quarter and one in the third—while managing three touchdowns in a 24-37 defeat. The outcome left at least one person notably displeased.

During the game, Camilla Stewart, mother of Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins, sent a scathing message: “Quarterback me please” accompanied by two sadly sighing emojis.

All but one of Browning’s interceptions resulted in Lions touchdowns. Notably, Detroit running back David Montgomery even threw a touchdown pass to backup tight end Brock Wright on a trick play, further frustrating the Bengals.

Between plays, analyst Daryl Johnston expressed concern, saying, “This offense has got to stop being a hindrance to this team! This offense isn’t even close to where it is with Joe Burrow at quarterback.” Play-by-play commentator Kevin Kugler added, “Without Joe Burrow there, that deep ball is absent. There’s no vertical passing game at all.”

After the third quarter, Johnston continued to question the quarterback’s performance: “The recklessness we saw in Weeks 3 and 4…it has come back again here this afternoon.”

On the bright side, all of the Bengals’ touchdowns came in the fourth quarter. Tee Higgins caught one, while Ja’Marr Chase was responsible for the other two scores.

**Bengals Urged to Trade for Veteran Quarterback After Week 5 Loss**

With Joe Burrow sidelined for the foreseeable future and Jake Browning struggling over three games, many believe Cincinnati’s coaching staff, led by Zac Taylor and General Manager Duke Tobin, should explore trade options for a veteran quarterback such as Kirk Cousins, Joe Flacco, or Russell Wilson.

So far, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Bengals have yet to initiate any trade talks, maintaining confidence that Browning will regain the form that helped the team finish 9-8 the last time their franchise faced a significant injury to Burrow.

However, USA Today’s Chris Roling urges the Bengals to act quickly: “This needed to happen a week ago. Browning looks lost and is probably suffering from the fact that defenses aren’t caught off guard by his lack of film now. The price on a quarterback trade is going up the more obviously desperate the Bengals get, but they need to acquire a Russell Wilson-caliber veteran and field a watchable team.”

The Bengals’ next game is against the Green Bay Packers. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET on CBS.
